? about stock radio with system
|
New member Username: Resin3Post Number: 3 Registered: Aug-06 | Hey guys. I have an 06 Monte Carlo and I want to keep the stock radio. I like it and it had all the settings i.e. bass/trebble/middle/etc.. And it overall looks nice. If I get it professionally done can I still use my stock radio in my car and hook up my subs and amp. My friend was saying something about having to remove my 6x9's for some reason, I'm not sure..Any suggestions/help /discuss |

Otherwise, LOC, line output converter. It annoys me that people want to keep their crappy stock decks, and don't use the search option  |

A refutable shop will be able to install and calibrate it correctly and you will get better sound than most (I said MOST, so don't jump down my throat) HU/Amp combos. Jexx, don't hate integration, it's coming wheter we like it or not. |

Silver Member Username: DkchillinVermont Post Number: 264 Registered: Mar-05 | If you really do want to keep your stock HU then the LOC is the way to go and there's nothing wrong with having it professionally done if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, but it's really not that tough. In terms of your friend saying you would have to remove the 6x9s it could be a result of having a stock amp or stock speakers with odd ohm loads that can create problems when adding aftermarket equipment. Not sure if the '06 Monte Carlo had an upgraded audio package but that's often the cause of a number of headaches (I had a stock Monsoon system that I had to completely dismantle before I could put together my current setup). Generally however, if you're leaving your stock HU and just adding subs there shouldn't be an issue. He may just be of the opinion that if you're running subs there's no need for rear speakers. |
